Countdown 48 and Bulgarian Folksong

Humanities
Literature - Fiction
Read: House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Fine Arts - Visual Arts
Looked up my hubby's favorite Pre-Raphaelite painting "Ophelia" by John Everett Millais

Visited local museum which was displaying Salvador Dali's Dante 100 print series and an exhibition of never-before traveled works by Italian masters Leonardo da Vinci, Tiziano Vecellio and Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis, and German master Albrecht Durer.

Also had a nice exhibit of paper fold-out books and paintings by Lea Nickless: Bound Unbound.

Tonight was the "One Night Stand" at the local community orchestra. Unfortunately, the guitar and mandolin duet never quite came together. However, here's the amusing entry done by hubby of a bulgarian folk song with me singing backup.

"One Night Stand" - what a fun idea!

Frankie must have some Eastern European ancestors - he hopped right up and pressed his face to the screen while you were singing.

And BTW, nice skirt. Ethnic-looking and cello-friendly!

Thanks. Frankie must have liked the "Mao mo" part of the song. Skirt is circa 1978, purchased somewhere in the hills of North Carolina's Asheville region.
